Two separate bullets, one an armor-piercing tracer round, made it seven reams (3,500 sheets) in before escaping out the side, probably due to the way somoe of the reams reel back on impact. That's over twice as many pages as you'll find in the typical copy of War and Peace, and thicker ones at that.

Kevlar. Perhaps one of the better-known bulletproof materials, Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that's heat resistant and incredibly strong. It's also lightweight, making it a popular choice for wearable bulletproof items. Kevlar is used in both military and civilian applications.

A twenty two short, which is the least powerful common type of bullet or round, will penetrate six inches or more of cardboard of the type used to make boxes for groceries, etc, fired from a short barreled revolver. Maybe more. Fired from a rifle, this same round will penetrate well over a foot of corrugated cardboard.

Is there a significant difference between the stopping power of a 9mm bullet vs a .
